## Details
`&playchannel` will play either the left or right audio stream-only for an incoming stereo stream.
It will play back the selected channel as mono audio, dropping other channels from the playback. `&playchannel=1` is left channel; `2` is right; and if multi channel works for you, then you can target 6 different channels.
This is useful if you wanted to capture the left and right audio channels of a remote guest in OBS in different browser sources, without having to do any fancy audio routing on the studio side.
Both left and right audio channels are still sent; it's just during local playback that the non-selected channels are dropped, so it's not as efficient as local routing, nor will both channel be in exact sync anymore either.
This will not currently work in conjunction with [`&panning`](/advanced-settings/audio-parameters/and-panning.md) of [`&channeloffset`](/advanced-settings/audio-parameters/and-channeloffset.md); and will override those options.
